When most people collect things - stamps, coins, cards and the like - they hoard them away and keep them, only to be brought out to pore over or show off.

Jenny West is different.
Ms West is certainly a collector, but the things she collects are for charity.
She's collected twist tops, bread clips, plastic lids, toiletries for 20 years, eight of those years in Orange.
During her time in the Central West, she's set up her Jenny West Collects group on Facebook to help a small community of people donating bits and pieces to go to charity.
"I've also got ring pulls which I sell off for $1 a kilogram, and I've raised over $227 so far for an organisation in Western Australia which helps give wheelchairs to kids," she said.
The lids are donated of Lids4Kids, a charity which helps make prosthetic arms from 3D printers, while toiletries are donated to Housing Plus.
However, Ms West is looking to get more people onboard to help expand collecting.
Currently, she gets people to drop goods off to her house or she heads out a few times a week to pick them up, but it looking for a business to step up to the plate and be a drop-off point for people dropping items in, which is a system she admits "isn't ideal".
"I'm looking for somewhere which can basically take the donations and I'll call in and pick them up once or twice a week," Ms West said.
She said the 20 years of collecting and donating was due to her being driven to help.
Anyone who has donations or who can help providing a drop-off point can contact Ms West on 0450 933 016.
